Gainesville Estate Planning attorney, Long H. Duong (last name pronounced “Young”) assists clients in planning, preserving and transferring their estates. It is our goal to guide clients through the process and ensure they understand our strategies and procedural choices.

Depending on the nature of a client's situation, the obvious solution may not be the best. In planning and administration matters, we lay out all options on the table and determine which solution will yield the most favorable return.

If you have questions about any of our practice areas, contact us today (via phone or our contact form) and we’ll schedule a free phone consultation or an in office consultation.

A word from the attorney:

I am very committed to client service and satisfaction. This is often uttered by any service provider, but it is a core value for me. In my day-to-day routine, I spend much of my days trying to understand what clients really need from me and I look for the path of least resistance to meet that goal. Some client matters are routine and relatively simple. Others require loads of research and coordination. If I don’t think I can provide a solution, I communicate this early and often. I look forward to discussing your situation, coming up with a proper plan and fully educating you along the way. Thanks for visiting.
